This London University Is Holding Open Days For Refugees

A university in London is holding open days for refugees in order to provide information about legal aid, access to education, recognition of qualifications and career advice.

The free sessions form part of Queen Mary University London's Refugee Welcome programme, and aim to bring together organisations, lawyers and charities working with refugees.

The days, organised by the university's law school, will outline the resources available to refugees and will provide opportunities for questions and answers with relevant experts.

QMUL's law department is holding open days for refugees

Professor Valsamis Mitsilegas, Head of the Department of Law at QMUL said: “These are topics about which Queen Mary and our partners have considerable expertise and experience. Our message to those who are struggling to find answers is simple: come along, ask questions, and let us help you.”

This session will cover in particular qualifications for studying and earning a degree in the United Kingdom. It also deals with fees, scholarships and other opportunities available to students from all backgrounds. QMUL has initiatives to provide assistance and support for refugees and asylum seekers to gain access to higher education, as well as support for students who are new to London.
